Take this table further
To take this table further add for more than 1 layer of roof removal. Add for installing sheathing on different pitches.
After you put in your own numbers in the tables above I would recommend using the numbers as the bare minimum for your price.
For instance say the numbers used in the over 9/12 above might be sufficient for a particular roof, but for a cut-up roof 2 stories to the eave with bad access these numbers would be way too low. Select the appropriate price per square, then enter it into the Roof Calculator program for a fast and accurate estimate.
